Organic, Symbiotic Digital Collection Development

Abstract

One of the critical success factors most evident in this project is cooperation and collaboration on a community-wide scale. while grants and internal resource allocations provided the necessary start-up funds, partnership working enabled the project leaders to lever additional funds from other sources. Success has bred success, with other partners wanting to participate as a result of initial achievement. Care needs to be taken however, when there is multiple bidding for funds as a partner institution, and clarity of role is required in applications.
